My Sunday School class met for our Digging Deep Bible Study and studied James 2. This was quite a convicting chapter as we discussed how the body of Christ is to be towards those who come to church.
We tend to focus on people who can offer us something instead of focusing on those we can minister to. The Bible speaks about God looking on the heart and we look on the outward appearance. Lord, help us to see people the way you see people. Help us to love people the way you do. Johnny Hunt says about this passage, "The way we behave toward people indicates what we really believe about God. A careful look at James' thoughts reveals that from God's perspective, the real issue is not wealth or poverty, but the condition of one's soul."
Do you and I show favortism in the body of Christ? James 2:9 says, "But if you show partiality, you are committing sin..." The Bible calls it a sin to do so. Lord, help us to not show favortism in the body of Christ.
